A PARADIGMSHIFT

WHEN CREATING THE NEW VITPILEN RANGE, HUSQVARNA MOTORCYCLES TOOK A DEEP LOOK INTO THEIR PIONEERING DNA. There has been a paradigm shift in the way the modern generation interacts with the world, which prompted our designers to develop a concept that could challenge conventional antiquated ideas. The outcome of this vision is a paradox where simplicity is realised using a remarkably progressive design. Presented in simple, yet visionary form, these impressive new street motorcycles provide a unique opportunity to experience the world differently.

It is for progressive, free-thinking riders who appreciate exceptional design and seek new ways to experience their urban environment.

DECIDEDLYDIFFERENT

IN TERMS OF STYLE AND DESIGN, THE HUSQVARNA VITPILEN 401 IS REFRESHINGLY DIFFERENT. The way in which the surfaces are sculpted is sleek and pure, forming soft, clean lines. By contrast, the shape itself is very intentional and well defined. It is free of excess and reduced to nothing more than what is absolutely essential. Ultimately, this motorcycle is as accessible and genuine as a motorcycle can be and is simply there to be ridden.

SURREALBUTREALISTIC

THE UNIQUE QUALITIES OF THE VITPILEN 401 ARE NOT LIMITED TO AESTHETICS, AS DESIGNERS SET OUT TO CREATE A MOTORCYCLE THAT CAPTURES THE SIMPLE THRILL OF THE RIDE. It can be instantly felt in the raw, natural and intuitive riding experience. The feeling is truly dynamic and engaging, thanks to its clip-on handlebars and unique riding position. Making every effort to recapture the feeling that first attracted people to the idea of motorcycling – the design approach was to remove everything that doesn’t truly enhance the ride – as simple as that.

This is a bold move that pushes the boundaries of design progression and challenges the status quo in the motorcycle industry.

FUNCTIONIN STYLE

THE VITPILEN 401 IS BRISTLING WITH PREMIUM COMPONENTRY. It is this level of detail that sets this motorcycle apart in performance and design. Meticulous attention was given to the selection of every feature, making sure no compromise was made in terms of its simple style and ride authenticity.

HANDLEBAR / TRIPLE CLAMP Independent left and right units, referred to as clip-ons, are mounted directly onto a forged aluminium triple clamp, giving the VITPILEN 401 a sporty feel, great control and instant feedback to the rider. BRAKES The VITPILEN 401 is fitted with a state-of-the-art BOSCH anti-lock braking system (ABS). This tried and tested system ensures confident braking in varying conditions. It can also be fully disengaged for more advanced riders.

WHEELS Robust and stylish 17" bronze anodised spoked wheels with electric yellow detailing are a perfect pairing to the VITPILEN 401’s unique character, while Metzeler M5 tyres ensure all-round usability in any urban environment.

Bravely daring to try new approaches, set benchmarks and even go new ways for others to follow. This spirit is central to the brand’s success and is at the core of a rich heritage that is at the heart of the company’s values to this day.

Its Swedish roots have remained firmly planted and are the inspiration behind the progressively simple designs and premium quality that distinguish the brand from the rest. Always looking ahead, searching for further improvement. This is what a true pioneer really is – this is the Husqvarna Motorcycles brand.
